I knew that McDonalds was an early investor (which was a bit ironic), but according to the wiki, they totally divested:
"McDonald's invested approximately $360 million into Chipotle, and took out $1.5 billion."

So many people are reluctant to fully look these types of things in the face. I guess it's nice to pretend that it's only a problem for hippies. It's especially ironic to me when those are the same people who have children or grandchildren they claim to love above all else, because they believe in family values. The little ones in every family are the ones that are actually going to have to face the consequences of their parents/grandparents willful ignorance, regardless of whether they're the children of hippies in Berkeley or of die-hard anti-environmentalists in Montgomery, Alabama...now there's preachy...
